IDEC SANTÉ has successfully delivered a 16,500 sq m pharmaceutical manufacturing facility to Aptar Pharma in Granville (Manche). Delivered in four successive phases, following 9 months of design studies and 42 months of construction, this project illustrates IDEC SANTÉ’s commitment to meeting the specific requirements of the pharmaceutical industry through the delivery of large-scale, highly technical projects.
APTAR PHARMA, a major player in the pharmaceutical industry
A subsidiary of the Aptar Group, Aptar Pharma is a leading manufacturer of drug delivery systems.
From its Granville facility, the company produces approximately 10 billion components each year, including plungers for pre-filled syringes, rigid needle shields and closures for injectable vials.
To support the continued growth of its activities, Aptar Pharma entrusted IDEC SANTÉ with the design and construction of a new industrial facility tailored to its operational requirements.
A relationship built on trust at the heart of the project
« This project is the result of a partnership built on a genuine relationship of trust with Aptar Pharma. From the very beginning, we worked together to address the technical and operational challenges specific to their business. »
Cédric de WAVRECHIN, Managing Director IDEC SANTÉ
Thanks to the expertise of its integrated engineering department and the use of advanced technologies such as BIM, IDEC SANTÉ was able to develop tailor-made solutions perfectly adapted to the client’s requirements.
Comprehensive support from IDEC SANTÉ
From the design phase through to construction, IDEC SANTÉ mobilised its expertise to provide comprehensive support to Aptar Pharma.
For several months, the Technical Engineering Department worked closely with the client’s teams to jointly develop the project while meeting the requirements of its industrial specifications.
Designed entirely in 3D using REVIT and BIM TRACK, the project incorporates advanced architectural and technical solutions specifically adapted to pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring reliable coordination between all construction packages and the industrial process.
IDEC SANTÉ also supported Aptar Pharma with the environmental aspects of the project, including the preparation and submission of the ICPE (Classified Installations for Environmental Protection) application and the implementation of the solutions required to achieve LEED Silver certification.
An outstanding 16,500 sq m facility
Covering a total surface area of 16,500 sq m, the Granville facility includes several production areas, including controlled environment cleanrooms (ISO 5 and ISO 7), packaging and storage areas, quality control laboratories, as well as administrative and staff facilities.
« This project perfectly illustrates our ability to design and deliver complex, highly technical facilities that meet the highest expectations of our clients. »
Cédric de WAVRECHIN.
Exemplary organisation for an ambitious project
The construction works, organised over four phases across a period of 42 months, involved nearly 220 partner companies.
This rigorous project management made it possible to meet the planned schedule while ensuring continuous coordination with the client.
« The success of this project is above all the result of the unwavering commitment of our teams. Their professionalism and their ability to overcome every challenge have enabled us to deliver a high-quality facility that fully meets Aptar Pharma’s expectations. »
